  <default_description>On a cold day in February, a stranger arrives in the village of Iping. He wears gloves and dark glasses, even inside, and his face is covered in bandages. Soon crimes occur that cannot be explained, and the townspeople realize the unthinkable truth: the strange man is invisible--and he is slowly going mad. The Invisible Man is a dangerous enemy who must be stopped. But if no one can see him, how can he be caught?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably a book that I should have read in high school, but I wasn't much of a reader then.  I am still not a huge science fiction guy, but I do find the ethical problems they raise very interesting.  In the Invisible Man, the problem of man's moral nature is explored.

    <body><![CDATA[Another very good book form H.G. Wells.  The science is interesting but of course not completely sound, and the implications of what an invisible man really is or isn't capable of were very well portrayed as well, seeing both the limitations and advantages of such a power.  Again, there is also an i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38839506">more...</a>]]></body>
